摘要
This review praises William Paden's focus on some of the key issues in the study of religion. It questions Paden's position on three topics: (a) the relationship between evolutionary psychology and functionalism; (b) the compatibility of Durkheim with Eliade; and (c) the 'newness' of Paden's new comparativism.
